The Blackwood Case.

The Blackwood case, which has caused Sc
rious complications between the authorities
of Georgia and those of South Carolina,
has developed some new phases. In order
that these may be understood it will be nee
essary briefly to review the case.
F. A Blackwood, a resident of Aiken
county, South Carolina, was charged with
having forged a check on an Augusta bank
Without obtaining the necessary requisi-
ton, Ed Stone, policeman, and J. p. Nc
Nally, bank clerk, went to Blackwood's
home on March s. arrested him, and car
ried him to Augusta and lodged him in jail
When the case was brought to
the attention of Gov. Richardson,
of South Carolina, he requested Gov
Gordon to have Blackwood's trial delayed
until the circumstances attending the arrest
could be inquired into. Gov. Gordon in
duced the court to delay the trial, in ac-
cordance with Gov. Richardson's request
Subsequently the latter took the position
that Blackwood had been kidnapped, and
demanded his release and return to South
Carolina. The demand was not granted,
Gov. Gordon holding that he had no au-
thority to do so. The case was then re-
ferred to Attorney General Anderson, who
decided that Gov. Gordon's action was right.
The new phases in the case are these: On
April "a Gov. Richardson sent a requisition
to Gov. Gordon for the delivery of Stone
and McNally. The offense of which they
are charged in South Carolina is kidnap-
ping. The requisition would have been
promptly honored but for the fact that in
dictments were pending against Stone and
Mentally in Georgia Gov. Gordon cannot
deliver the two men to the South Carolina
authorities until the indictments have been
disposed of by the Georgia courts. On
April 20 Gov. Richardson petitioned the
Judge of Richmond Superior Court
for writ of habeas corpus to
bring Blackwood before the
court, SO that the legality of the prisoners
arrest and detention might be determined.
On the same day Blackwood also petitioned
for a writ of habeas corpus. The Judge
sanctioned the writ, and ordered Blackwood
to be brought before the court on May II.
There is no disposition upon the part of
Gov. Gordon to uphold Stone and McNally,
if they have been guilty of an offense. He
simply insists that as long as Blackwood is
within the jurisdiction of a Georgia court,
and indictments are pending in Georgia
against Stone and McNally, he is powerless
to interfere in the case, and that only the
courts can unravel the complications The
courts, of course, will see that justice is done
to all the parties concerned

and In u jiffy had given The pug sharp nip on a
hind quarter The pug gave a ki-yi and ran
around the legs of a fat man who happened TO
be passing by. The fat man got entangled with
the chain, and in trying to raise his left foot TO
clear 1t lost his balance and went headlong to-
wards the gutter. The pug howled louder than
over, his fair owner shouted You brute!" at
the fat man, whose umbrella in his stumble had
struck her on the cheek Several gentlemen
who were coming down Broadway came upon
the scene just as the fat man was rising. They
thought he had struck at the young lady and
one OF them wanted to seize him by the collar
She, however. picked mp the pug and hurried
across the street In the direction of Madison
Square. The fat man did not utter word, but
looked as It he would like 10 give the pug a kick

AT THE SILVER WEDDING.
A Lovely Memory Which Lived in the
Mind OF the BRIDEGROOM.
Fronl "a San Ffancisco Chronicle.


From the San Francisco Chronicle.
They were celebrating their silver wedding,
and of course the couple were very happy and
very aftectionate.
Yes said the husband, this is the only
woman / ever loved shall never forget the
first time proposed to her
How did you do it, burst ont young man
who had been squeezing a pretty girls hand in
the corner. They ali laughed and he biushed,
but the girl carried it off bravely.
Well, remember as well as # 1t were yester-
day. II was away back in Maine. We had
been out on picnic, and she and 1 got wander
ing alone. Don't You remember, my dear:"
The wife nodded and smiled

haven't forgotten. love, have your"
The wife nodded again.

The wife nodded again.
She wrote her name, Minnie, and | said let
me put the other name to it. And | took the
parasol and wrote my name-Smith-after it.
How lovely" broke out a little maid who
was bealning in q suspicious way on tall chap
with blonde moustache.
And she took back the parasol and wrote
below it: No, won't And we went home.
H0n remember it, darling. see you do"
Then he kissed her, and the company muir

Discipline for the Young.

In this day Of improved methods in the
school room bodily punishment is not often
administered % refractory pupils. Instead
"a black mark" or detention after school,
is the mild punishment used to deter them
from violations Of rules, or to induce them
to study their lessons 1t is the experience
Of teachers, however, that the improved
methods of punishment are failures, and in
consequence there is a general demand for a
return to the hickory rod or the whalebone.
Perplexed pedagogues may find sugges-
ton in the plan Of punishment: adopted by a
teacher in New Bedford, Mas. Miss Nut
ter, the principal Of a primary school IN
that city, tries water upon refractory pu-
pills. She does not drown them but she
takes them to the sink and washes their
faces, Her plan, perhaps, would be unob-
jecJionable were it not for the fact that she
does not use a sponge. She holds the youth
full faces under a faucet and lets the water
run until her victims are almost paralyzed
Her plan is sanctioned by the superintend-
ent of schools, but the parents of the pupils
object to it upon two grounds: They say it
is inhuman, and that they prefer to wash
their children's faces without outside help.
If demagogues can overcome the objec-
tons TO Miss Nutter's plan it may not be
necessary TO return to the rod or whalebone
There are reasons to believe, however, that
the old methods of punishment were the
best. There is a wonderful amount of per-
suasion in a well seasoned hickory, whether
it is used to prevent bad behavior or to in
duce study. It's use, too, is a curb upon
forwardness. The youths of thirty years
ago were willing to let their elders control
in most matters, but now the latter are
allowed but few privileges. The youths are
in command. If their teachers do not suit
them they strike. If parental authority
presses too hard upon them they leave home
and proceed to work out their own destinies
OF course there are exceptions, for now and
then the hickory is still found in use.
Old men who were ''thrashed into subiec-
tion," as they express it, unite in the opinion
that the young should be brought under
stricter discipline. The thoughtful observer
will admit that they are right. There
ought to be a reform, and it should begin
in the family. Severe punishment ought
not to be inflicted, but boys and girls should
be made to obey. As to the schools, nobody
would care to see the 'old field schools re-
established, but it would be well to try
little of their efficacious discipline. Nothing
has been gained by practically allowing the
Young to control themselves.

A Law Agin 1t.

"Our church has got bran new man,
The Baptis' preacher can't come near him,
And Sunday being bright and warm,
l Thought I'd like to go and hear him;
But if I'd know'd twas fashion day,
With women dressed like fancy picters,
To take my mind in sermon time,
I'd stayed at home and read the scripters.

And | say'women act like geese,
In apeing every style that's recent.
They comb their hair straight up behind,
And put in arrers for to pin it,
And friz and bang it down in front;

''They buy the highest hats there is,
And make 'em higher yet with trimmin',
And feathers frizzlin' out, until

The Reformed Criminal.

A few days ago the MORNING News called
attention to the case of John Ryan, who was
arrested at Louisville as suspected felon.
1t viii be remembered that Ryan admitted
having served a term in prison, and that he
declared the suspicion with which he was
regarded on that account prevented him
from making an honest living. Another
case, that of journeyman painter in
New York, is a fresh illustration of
the difficulty experienced in obtaining
employment by persons who have
been in prison on account of the commission
of crime. This man applied to Mayor
Hewitt for help. He said that youthful
indiscretion got him into prison, out of
which he was pardoned The fact being
known he was constantly subjected to UNI
pleasant suspicion Every time he obtained
employment the Painters Union would
make his unfortunate indiscretion the pre-
text of requesting his discharge by the
bosses, until finally his family was driven to
the verge of starvation.
One Of the Fundamental principles upon
which Christian society is founded is for
giveness Of the repentant sinner, but it is
principle which seems to be lost sight of
in cases where the sinner has gone so far as
TO get himself into prison. The treatment
of the ex-convict who honestly desires to re-
form is almost as bad as that OF the ex-con-
vict who continues in his evil ways. There
are very few who have sufficient philan-
thIopy and faith in human nature
TO believe in the reformation of
n criminal 10 the extent of
giving him employment. The police in the
larger cities say that this is due TO the fact
that but few criminals ever really reform.
1t is a fact, however, that some do reform,
and they ought not to be debarred from
making living.
The case Of tho reformed criminal pre-
sents serious problem He must live, and
If he Is not given the opportunities accorded
to those who hive rot committed crime. he
win either become n inendtant or again
join the ranks Of criminals. In the interest
of society it might be well for the State 10
provide employment for him until it is seen
that his repentance is genuine. Better this
than that he should oc forced into men,
dicDicy Or crime.
